$50,000 up for grabs with LA Startup prize

The Louisiana Film Prize is launching a chance for you to win $50,000 for your great start up business idea.

The Louisiana Startup prize will combine entrepreneurial education with the intensity of a competition. The Startup prize's main goal is to develop better entrepreneurs, connect them with investors and help create an entrepreneurial culture in northwest Louisiana.

While there will be smaller cash prizes at the qualifying events, the entrepreneurs will ultimately be competing for the grand prize of cash and services equaling $50,000.

And it kicks off Wednesday, April 16th at 6 p.m., at Cohab in downtown Shreveport. The press conference will be followed by a kick-off party in the same location with Great Raft Brewery and Ki' Mexico. The event is open to everyone.
